Lakshmi Hills in Munnar is a hidden gem that offers breathtaking panoramic views of rolling tea plantations, mist-covered valleys, and distant mountain ranges. A trek to Lakshmi Hills is an immersive experience through lush greenery, winding trails, and fresh mountain air, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The hilltop rewards visitors with stunning sunrise and sunset vistas, where the sky is painted in hues of gold and crimson. Away from the bustling tourist spots, Lakshmi Hills provides a serene escape to experience the tranquil beauty and unspoiled charm of Munnar’s highlands.

This trek will start at the height of approximately 1450 MASL with a walk through the tea plantations for about 30 to 40 minutes. On reaching the summit, the trek will continue for a couple of hours on the ridge through stunningly beautiful grasslands with rocky mountain slope on one side and the tea plantations on the other with interspersed patches of Shola forest. On a clear day, we can see Anaimudi “The highest peak in South India”. We will also pass through a private coffee and cardamom plantation in the Shola Forest where there is a high chance to spot few of our endemic birds. We will have refreshments/picnic lunch at a suitable place during the trek. Similar to the start, the trek will finish with a walk through a tea plantation to meet our cab waiting to transfer us back to the hotel. Highest point of this trek will be about 1950 meters MASL approx.
